Hi, this post will be very Ununsefull to alot of users cuz they are basics ..but im hitting for the newcomers so i hope rest of u can let me live 
ive been working with some different people over the last cpl of months , and i realised we all use and have some quick shortcuts for use in Cubase sx 2 ( i.e)
Im certain they can be edited and read somewhere , but my experience is also that people just start using the ones they know and forget about the others .
My producing , and arranging has gotten a bit faster and more simple with these usefull shortcuts .
So please usem if uaint gottem
just start of with the really basics
Spacebar: Start , Stop
Enter: Enter the box you have highlighted
F2 Transport bar
F3 Mixer
From here i find
F9-F10 Toggles forth and back the selection of tools .
F11 Vsti Instrument
F12 ur Cpu usage
Below the F's
1: Switch beewteen normal sizing , Sizing moves content,and sizing applies timestretch.
2-10: Each directly is assigned switiching to a tool from your toolbox .
B : Jump Forward to next section with midi notes
F : Cursor follows Project On/Off
G : Zoom Out
H : Zoom In
J : Cursor Magnetised On/Off
N : Same As B only reverse effect
P : Sets Locators around your highlighted box
Q : Quantize according to your set Q resolution ( top right corner )
S/M : Solo or Mute your highlighted Track
Ctrl + D : Copies the highlighted box and inserts it directly after .
Ctrl + P : Brings out your audio/video Pool
Ctrl + R : Opens Up your Score Editor
Ctrl + T : Tempo Track menu
Ctrl + V : Copies the highlighted box and inserts it at the cursor
Ctrl + Z : Undo your last action
Shift + G: Will create a Loop and play around your highlighted box .
Numeric Pad
1 : Takes Cursor to Left Locator
2 : Takes cursor to Right Locator
0 : Stop
Enter : Start
"Del" or "," : Takes you to the beginning .
+ : Forwards the cursor
- : Rewinds the cursor
* : Record
/ : Toggles Loop on and Off
Well I hope one or two of you will use one of them , and please add some more usefull I left out.

and of course: make your own, in SX go: File - Key Commands... then look what you use often, Type in Key, click assign and you are done. for instance: i use use E for Events to Part, B for Bounce and Ctrl E for Export audio Mixdown.... good luck with it, it makes working a lot fasterrrrrrr |

select the piece u want to duplicate, press alt and keep alt pressed while u drag, and u'll make a copy, just like with ctrl-d, and like that u can make as much copies of ur imported audio file as needed... If u want a bigger midi-block, u can just drag it wider... If u want to copy the content, u can use the same way as for audio...
Is this an answer to ur question? Cuz i don't really understand what ur asking, I just assumed it's this problem... |

Inspired by this thread I decided to discover the unknown land of shortcuts for improving my production-skills ;-)
If you want the full meal deal you'll find a list of all default SX2-shortcuts in the "getting started"-document. I just printed it to have it available.
The "file/keycommands" menu, where you can make your own shortcuts and macros, gives you many possibilities to find and edit shortcuts. Give it a try ;-)
A good possibility to make your first own shortcuts is to add some to the "track" section in the upper box of the keycommands-menu (add midi-track, add audio-track...)
I made a simple macro that allows me to give midi-notes a certain length and velocity by simply hitting the "."-key. Its very easy.
